Gmail works fine here for every *other* mailing list I'm on, including a couple I created and maintain as Google Groups. The biggest mailing list problems I encounter are with folks subscribed via AOL or Yahoo addresses. Those sites turned on provisions of the DKIP specification that specify that headers may not be *changed* en route. This breaks mailing lists, as mailing list managers must diddle headers as part of what they do. What happens depends on the servers that get the list mail. Some will discard it undelivered as spam and not mention they have. Some will accept and deliver it, but label it spam (Gmail does this.) I've told folks on various lists using AOL or Yahoo addresses they have three choices: Stay subscribed to the list from their AOL or Yahoo address, but be aware that other list members may never see their posts Drop off the list Find another email provider. I don't know what Gmail's allergy to the Toybox list is, but I don't think Gmail is the problem. (I have a Proton mail account. Handy for the privacy obsessed, but way too slow for volume traffic here.) ______ Dennis (Who was *delighted* to shift to Gmail, drop MS Outlook as email client, and download mail locally via POP) https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
